What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the equipment needed outside of the kitchen includes items for beverage preparation and service. Specifically, this encompasses crêpe makers, an espresso machine, a hot water dispenser, refrigerators, a freezer, and soup warmers. Additionally, the restaurant area requires a hand sink, a three-compartment small bar sink, an ice maker, metal tables, and small wares.
The franchisee is also required to purchase a beverage machine from a designated supplier. This purchase includes the cost of delivery, installation, and three months of ongoing monthly maintenance. This implies that franchisees must budget not only for the initial cost of these items but also for their upkeep and potential repairs.
Prospective franchisees should confirm with Bb.Q Chicken the specific models and suppliers approved for these equipment items to ensure compliance with brand standards and to accurately estimate the total investment. Understanding the maintenance requirements and associated costs for the beverage machine is also crucial for financial planning.
